Chapter 60: Silva Who Was too Late to Regret

As Silva just finished his words, the figures hiding behind the pillars from both sides suddenly ambushed. Chen Rui had been long prepared for a long time. He swept his feet, but his first target was actually the old dwarf. That kick’s strength was well controlled; the old dwarf was knocked back under the wooden cabinet at the side.

At that moment, the figures from both sides had already rushed over. The cloak turned and “Poom!”. Before the two could form a pincer attack, they were already knocked back. One of them crashed into the pillar heavily; he could barely hold himself up. There were even cracks on the sturdy pillar.

Those two were just early-stage Intermediate Demon who were far inferior from Bloody Hand, Lance. Thus, they naturally couldn’t stop Chen Rui’s charged heavy blow. Chen Rui mostly battled with opponents who were stronger than himself, so now he could clearly feel his improvement after he fought with these people.

The centaur, Grau was about to attack, but suddenly a figure jumped down from the magic chandelier on the ceiling. It was charging as fast as lighting toward Silva’s head. Grau’s reaction was extremely fast as he pulled Silva up and threw him several meters away to escape the danger. However, the figure that came down turned out to be an <Afterimage>; the true ultimate move appeared at Grau’s back. The centaur felt a chill at his back, and he was already stabbed by a sharp weapon.

Grau’s strength had already reached the highest stage after all, so when he stiffened his body with all his strength, only 3/10 of the weapon was penetrated. When Grau turned around to attack, the assassin had already run far away. As the assassin retreated, other screams could be heard; another two men were dead.

Although the assassin injured Grau, he also exposed himself. Grau wiped off the blood at his back. His ferocious eyes were staring at the dark elf who almost took his life. He thought of a name, clenched his teeth and said, “Quick Wolf Jesse!”

As expected, Jesse appeared at the right moment.

“That’s the strongest middle-stage fighter from the arena?” Silva was shocked. He pushed away the succubus who wanted to help him up. He got up and said, “Jesse, how much benefit did you receive from Aguile? You actually dared to provoke me?”

Jesse sprinted through the crowds while the dual daggers in his hands harvesting life swiftly. Although there was also Intermediate Demon among Silva’s thugs, Jesse’s experience and means were far from those average demons. In a blink of an eye, several more corpses were on the ground, making the rest felt terrified.

Jesse paused his body and he replied faintly, “30 black crystal coins.”

” I’ll pay 10 times the price, 300 black crystal coins.” Silva waved his hand and a coin bag flew toward Jesse. “Kill Aguile for me.”

Jesse’s scary strike left Silva with a tiny trauma, so he intended to use the money to make Jesse and Aguile kill each other, or perhaps taking advantage of the internal strife.

Jesse received the coin bag and looked at Chen Rui. He felt that the eyes behind the mask weren’t moved. The dark elf raised his brows and threw the coin bag to Chen Rui, “I don’t have space equipment; help me hold it for a while.”

Chen Rui agreed and the money bag instantly disappeared in his hand. There was a smile behind the mask. This Jesse is quite interesting.

Silva didn’t expect the dark elf to not appreciate his kindness. He clenched his teeth and said, “Damn Jesse. You’re just a little famous in the arena. How dare you ignore I, Sir Silva’s kindness!”

“I think you haven’t been to the arena these past few days,” Jesse said faintly while keeping his hands busy and killed another two. “My life has already lost to Aguile.”

Silva was taken aback. His eyes fell on the little-known Cloak Gang’s leader. There was a demon at the entrance that already realized, “That’s right! Aguile is No. 64! The strongman who defeated Jesse and Lance!”

No. 64! Silva was shocked and secretly regretted underestimating the Cloak Gang. However, since the two parties had turned their faces to this extent, even if the loss was huge, he had to eliminate the two of them, otherwise, he would lose his place in the Dark Moon City.

“Get rid of them! Grau, you deal with Jesse; the rest will deal with Aguile together!” Silva thought and immediately gave a killing command. Then, countless men were constantly rushing in from outside the house.

Silva stood up as he mumbled. Suddenly, a faint green glow appeared on Grau’s body. With the help of the green light, Grau rushed toward Jesse with his speed increased suddenly. It was a skill called <Accelerate> of the wind magic, which could greatly enhance the speed at the cost of defense. However, it was the most suitable tactic for Grau when facing someone with weaker strength like Jesse.

Jesse knew that Grau was at the peak of Intermediate Demon who had greater strength than him. What’s more, he was enchanted by <Accelerate>, so he paused and focused.

Chen Rui made use of his speed to swiftly moved and attacked around the crowd while gradually approaching Silva. Silva was using magic to interfere with Jesse’s speed, making Jesse fell into a dangerous situation. When Silva noticed Chen Rui’s intentions, he was shocked.

Initially, he wanted to use the strongest Grau to kill Jesse, who was relatively weak, then he would concentrate all forces on Aguile. However, he didn’t expect Aguile wasn’t trapped by so many people, and he was coming closer instead.

As “Aguile” was very fast and he was mixed in the crowd, Silva couldn’t use his spiritual power to lock on him to cast magic. He set his mind and started mumbling. After a moment, he waved both his hands and a huge lightning appeared out of nowhere, hitting directly at the crowd. The lightning first hit a demon near Chen Rui. The demon was instantly electrocuted and fell with a burnt body. Yet, the lightning was chained; it continued to hit another demon and the third strike fell on Chen Rui finally.

Chen Rui’s body trembled and his muscle involuntarily paralyzed. The demon next to him was also knocked down to the ground. That was <Chain Lightning>. It could attack the closest 4 people regardless if they were allies or enemies. Seeing Aguile being struck by the <Chain Lightning>, the rest of the demons took advantage to rush toward Chen Rui. At once, countless punches and sticks hit directly on Chen Rui.

Chen Rui snorted furiously and his strength burst out. The few guys that were in front of him were instantly knocked back, following with consecutive hits sound and a few men falling.

Silva was secretly shocked. He himself was a lich at middle-stage Intermediate Demon that specialized in wind magic. The <Chain Lightning> just now was already all he got. Although the first out of the 4 strikes of the <Chain Lightning> was the strongest and it gradually weakened, the power was still strong. Coupled with those attacks by his subordinates, even Grau couldn’t endure that. He didn’t expect Aguile to be so horrifying that he seemed to be not affected at all.

Actually, Chen Rui’s situation wasn’t as easy as Silva’s imagination. Yet, the Alkaid state’s defensive power and the regeneration of <Astral Form> were very powerful. Thus, he could endure the attacks and charge toward Silva at full speed – First capture the leader to capture the bandits.

Silva was shocked. The lightning spell’s chant was too long that it was too late to start chanting. He drew a circle with his hand while his mouth fluttered quickly, then a translucent dome appeared outside his body. Chen Rui punched directly, then Silva and the shield were knocked flying into the wall, And the shield shook for a while. Although Silva who was inside wasn’t harmed, he was petrified with fear.

As Chen Rui was about to attack the dome shield, he saw Jesse being kicked by Grau at the opposite. Jesse’s body hit the wooden cabinet that the old dwarf was hiding coincidentally and the wooden cabinet instantly shattered, scaring the old dwarf of his wits.

“Grau! Die!” Chen Rui couldn’t bother about Silva and charge toward Grau.

When Grau was about to catch up with Jesse to kill, he heard Aguile shouting. As soon as he turned around, he saw a white ball with a horrific breath rushing straight toward him. As it was too close, he was too late to react, so he was hit directly.

Grau had a huge fear in his mind instinctively. He tried desperately to resist it, but he still couldn’t resist the mighty power of the light ball. Both his feet dragged a crazy path on the ground with countless cracks along the way.

As the white ball’s distance lengthened, Grau’s defense, which was already weakened by the wind magic became weaker and weaker.

Horrific destructive power... was Grau’s feeling of the light ball, which also became the last conscious thought of the centaur in this world.

Silva saw Aguile opened his hand and a huge light ball hit Grau with countless terrible trace of destruction along the way. Even someone as strong as Grau couldn’t survive it. After resisting for a while, he was completely engulfed. The light ball penetrated through the walls, and the screams could be heard from outside the house. No one knew which unfortunate guy faced the same ending as Grau.

Silva was frightened. The thugs who were ready to charge were also petrified. At the same time, Jesse, who had just struggled out of the wooden cabinet was stunned. Instead, the old dwarf who climbed out was relatively calm.

Chen Rui hit perfectly with a blow. He felt that the Star Power in his body was exhausted, but he showed no difference on the surface. He opened his palm again and aimed at the group of thugs, “Fuck off if you don’t want to die!”

As soon as Chen Rui finished that sentence, those who were scared out of their wits had already escaped, even those who were faking death on the ground were no exception. Even Grau couldn’t resist such terrifying power, who dared to stay here?

Silva’s entire body was trembling and the protective layer on his body had long crumbled as his magic collapsed. When he saw Aguile approaching while making a chilling sneer, he was horrified, “Don’t kill me! I’ll give you everything!”

“That depends on how much you’d pay for your life. If you can’t give up your wealth, then I can only take your life.”

Silva recalled that he said a similar threat to “Aguile”; he couldn’t help but want to slap himself a few times. It was too late for him to regret now. In order to save his life, he couldn’t hold onto his money, so he hurriedly removed the space ring from his hand, “Sir Aguile, here is all my wealth...”

Chen Rui took the space ring and opened the entrance. Then, he saw many bulging leather bags falling out. They were all black crystal coins. There were a few hundred of such bags; they piled up on the floor instantly. Other than that, there were a few items that looked expensive, but there weren’t any fluorescent stones.

The old dwarf’s eyeballs almost fell out by looking at that. So much money! There are at least two to three hundred coins in a bag which adds up to tens of thousands in total!

Chen Rui was also secretly surprised. This Silva actually has so much wealth! How exactly did he get these!

However, this money was all belonged to Chen Rui now. Such a “righteous” move that robbed criminals of their wealth and benefited himself should be done more often.

Chen Rui waved his hand; he didn’t seem like he used any space equipment, but hundreds of coin bags along with the ring actually disappeared.

That move shocked Silva: Such speed and technique are definitely not from space equipment. Could it be the lost space magic?

“Sir, as long as you let me go, I am willing to join Cloak Gang as your subordinate to make more money for sir.”

That suggestion moved Chen Rui’s heart slightly. He asked, “Where are the fluorescent stones?”

Silva looked hesitant, then Silva saw his opponent slowly stretching fingers and pointing at him. Silva said as he was terrified, “Please come with me, sir!”

Jesse and the old dwarf stayed at the hall to look out while Chen Rui took Silva to the basement warehouse.
